  • Revisiting the Saul Narrative in Chronicles: Interacting with the Persian Imperial Context?
    Jonker: Saul Narrative in Chronicles OTE 23/2 (2010), 283-305 283 Revisiting the Saul Narrative in Chronicles: Interacting with the Persian Imperial Context? LOUIS C. JONKER (U NIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH ) ABSTRACT It is well-known among biblical scholars and other Bible readers that the Chronicler’s presentation of King Saul of Israel differs sig- nificantly from the version in 1 Samuel. Many studies have been conducted on this and commentators normally dedicate extensive space to the peculiarity. In line with Knoppers’s suggestions of how to approach this peculiarity, this article will investigate whether it could benefit our discussion of the Chronicler’s portrayal of King Saul if the perspective of identity formation forms our interpretative key.

  • F. Olojede CHRONICLER’S WOMEN – a HOLISTIC APPRAISAL
    Acta Theologica 2013 33(1): 158-174 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v33i1.8 ISSN 1015-8758 © UV/UFS <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaTheologica> F. Olojede CHRONICLER’S WOMEN – A HOLISTIC APPRAISAL ABSTRACT This article attempts to fill, in part, the gap in scholarship on the role of women in the book of Chronicles by providing data to show that the Chronicler succeeded in highlighting the roles and status of women in ancient Israel, as he copiously employed materials that are otherwise unknown in the biblical text and modified his Vorlage. A relentless focus on kinship and familial ties is discernible in the analysis of the roles and positions of the women who are presented in a way that shows their affinities to the people (or land) of Israel. It is argued that the Chronicler was intent on showing that women – all kinds of women – were a solid part of Israel’s story and of its identity that was being redefined and reconstituted. Besides affirming his concept of laer'f.yI-lk', the Chronicler’s presentation clearly reflects the changing sociocultural patterns of his time, especially in relation to exilic/post-exilic Israelite women. 1. INTRODUCTION AND BRIEF SUMMARY OF RECENT STUDIES ON CHRONICLER’S WOMEN A clear dearth of holistic study of women in Chronicles could be observed in ongoing research on the book of Chronicles. This article attempts to fill this gap by fleshing out new perspectives and providing data to show that, by copiously employing materials that are otherwise unknown in the biblical text as well as by modifying his Vorlage, the Chronicler has succeeded in highlighting the roles and status of women in ancient Israel.

  • 2 Samuel & 1 Chronicles with Associated Psalms
    2 Samuel& 1 Chronicles w/Associated Psalms Chronicles Purpose : To direct the restoration of the kingdom during the post-exilic period. Outline : 1.1:1-1.9:44 – Genealogies of God’s People (From Adam to David to Zerubbabel) 1.10:1-2.9:31 – United Kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon) 2.10:1-2:28:26 – Divided Kingdom (Fall of Samaria and Jerusalem) 2.29:1-2.36:23 – Reunited Kingdom (Cyrus’ Edict) Author : Some suggest there was a single “chronicler” for Chronicles and for Ezra-Nehemiah (perhaps Ezra himself). There are definite similarities, but also distinctions. Date : United Monarchy – 1050…Divided Monarchy – 922…Fall of Samaria – 722…Fall of Jerusalem – 586…Cyrus Edict – 538…Date of Composition, maybe 500-400 BC Chronicles Highlights : The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is “The Words (or Events) of the Days”. The title of this book in the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament, written in 70 AD) is “The Things Omitted” (things passed over by Samuel and Kings). The English title of “Chronicles” is a shortened form of Jerome’s suggestion in calling it “A Chronicle of the whole divine history.” Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles are the “Synoptic History” meaning that they share the same, or similar, accounts for some of this history. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the “Synoptic Gospels” in sharing the same, or similar, accounts of Jesus. Synoptic means “seeing (optic) together (syn)” and provides a summary, or synopsis. There are times when the wording is exactly the same as the Chronicler simply copied from Samuel, or Kings.

  • 1 Chronicles 1
    Read 1 Chronicles 1 Pathrus, Casluh, from which the Philistines came, and Caphtor. 1 Chron 1:12 Spies are a terrible blow to the morale of any enemy. When the culprit is someone that was planted by another government, it is certainly disturbing to those who have been infiltrated. But, when the spy is someone from your own country who turned, the feeling is outrage. I remember spies that were caught during the Cold War selling secrets to the Soviet Union. These were Americans who for varied reasons, mostly money, chose to sell out their own country to the enemy. These spies became enemies from within. Here as 1 Chronicles begins, we see an early genealogy starting with Adam. We see Noah’s three sons Ham, Shem, and Japheth. Two sons of Ham, grandsons of Noah, were Casluh and Canaan. These two bring about some of the toughest enemies that Israel would face in its future. Casluh was father to the arch enemy Philistines, while Canaan’s descendants populated the land of Israel, and were destroyed by Israel as God’s judgment against their evil practices. These young men knew their grandfather, but they were not influenced enough that their descendants were close followers of the God that brought Noah and their father through the flood. Are you leading your children to help make a solid chain of faith years down the road in your family? Do you see tendencies now that may turn into tragedies later? Ask God to lead you as you lead your family, and if you have not entered this season of life, take the time to get prepared now.

  • 1 Chronicles Chapter 26
    1 Chronicles Chapter 26 Verses 1-19: (compare 1 Chron. 9:17-27), for another discussion of the temple gatekeepers or guards as we would call them. They had other duties, such as checking out equipment and utensils; storing, ordering and maintaining food for the priests and sacrifices; caring for the temple furniture; mixing the incense daily burned; and accounting for gifts brought. Their “duties” (verse 12), are given in (1 Chron. 9:17-27). 1 Chronicles 26:1 "Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites [was] Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph." The role of the “gatekeeper” included maintaining and protecting the temple and all that was in it (see note on 9:10-32). Handling the revenue that came to the house of God whether through tithes or through plunder taken in a battle (26:26-27), and serving in a governing role (26:29). The gatekeepers ensured that the holy temple would not be defiled by anything profane or unclean. God’s holiness is supposed to be taken seriously. The rosters here comprise three classes of Levitical duties: gatekeepers (verses 1-19; compare 9:17-27; 16:38), treasury guards (verses 20-28; compare 9:28-29; 23:5, 28-29), and important civil and judicial officials (verses 29-32). The porters would be the keepers of the entrance to the temple. Again, David is preparing all of this ahead of time for his son, Solomon. We discussed in a previous lesson, that Solomon was probably quite young. David was helping him, so he would not make an error about the Levitical family caring for the worship in the temple.
